Music legend Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, at age 76, just weeks after his farewell concert. The "Prince of Darkness," whose real name was John Michael Osbourne, suffered a cardiac arrest. He was known for his unique sound and captivating live performances, but also for unforgettable moments on his reality series, The Osbournes, which ran from 2002 to 2005 and is available on Prime Video. Here are some of his most iconic moments.
Ozzy's Struggle with the TV
In one hilarious scene, Ozzy moved into a new mansion and tried to navigate the TV and its complex remote control. "What the f*** am I doing?" he asked as he pressed buttons. "I'm stuck on the weather channel," he said before a mysterious beeping began. "What the f*** is that?" he asked in confusion. The remote controlled all the technology in the house, but the family had no written instructions. Ozzy grew irate and called to his son: "Jack! Can you get this f****** TV to work!"
Ozzy Complains About the Dogs
The show featured many moments where Ozzy aired grievances about the household animals urinating on expensive carpets and furniture. "It's like Doctor Dolittle's f****** house here," he once said. In an iconic scene, he was furious when a dog urinated on an antique rug, shouting: "Who's p*****? Who's p***** over my f****** carpet?" He continued to fume as Sharon cleaned up, ranting: "Why do they do it, Sharon? What's the deal, man?" He then went off on another rant when Sharon used one of his towels to clean the mess.
Ozzy's Neighbor Fallout
One famous storyline was a feud in the episode 'Won't You Be My Neighbor?' that escalated into a neighborhood war. The Osbournes were furious with neighbors hosting loud garden parties all night. After confronting them to no avail, Jack and Sharon blasted death metal music, and Sharon threw food into their garden. Ozzy then threw a wooden log through their window.
Ozzy's Fishing Trip
One of the sweetest moments was when Ozzy finally took his son Jack on a fishing trip after 17 years of trying. He said: "It's taken me 17 years, that's as old as my son is, to finally go fishing with my son, like every father should do once in his life. Every time I have attempted it before in the past, their mates are coming and we have had to turn around and go back. If you keep on persevering, you will eventually get what you want." He then helped Jack reel in a catch as they spotted a seal in the water.
The Osbournes is available to stream on Prime Video.
